This makes perfect sense - but I'm not sure that I understand why it makes sense for Thomson to run (bizarrely) for mayor herself instead of just campaigning for John Tory, apart from her apparent desire to be at the centre of a spectacle.
I believe that Thomson really thinks (as nutty as it sounds) that she'll gain enough support in her campaign that when she feels it's time, she'll ask her supporters to vote for Tory instead. Plus, you can tell she really likes being in the spotlight and getting media attention.
